A little nine-year-old daughter OF
a mechanic named Thomas met
with a horrible death at Pocateilo
last Tuesday evening. Mr.. Thomas
and family had recently arrived at
Pocatello from Eagle Rock and his
wife was confined to the house on
account of sickness. She had sent
the little child on some errand who
on returning home found her way,
leading across the track, blockaded
by a train of freight cars being
made up, and in her hurry to reach
home, she attempted to pass under
the cars. Just as she was beneath
the train a signal was given to the
engineer to start ahead and in a
moment more the child was caught
under the wheels and crushed 10
death before the Mortified spectators
could hardly realize what had hap
pened. As speedily as possible
the little form was taken up by
master carpenter Bennett, and the
child gave one or two gasps and
then expired. The afflicted family
have the sincere sympathy of many
people in their bereavement.

The Winnemucca New Silver
State, of September I'd, has the
following:
United States Senator George Hearst,
Of California, Ipassed through here yes
terdsy on his way home from an extended
tour in Montana and Idaho To rep
resentative of the Silver State he said II
was not true that he had attended con
ference at Shoshone, Idaho, At which il
was decided to oppose the annexation OF
Southern Idaho to Nevada, and squelch
the scheme, as reported in dispatch
from that place. He believed Nevada
ought to have more population, and when
its resources are developed he thinks 1t
will become one of the greatest States
west of the Rocky mountains.
It seems hardly creditable that
the Silver State, Usually a we'll
informed paper, correctly repre-
sents Senator Hearst in the above.
Whether or not the gentleman at
tended a conference at Shoshone
at which the Nevada annexation
scheme was discussed, the KEY
STONE does not know further than
the authority of the associated press
dispatch stating the result of such
a conference. But it does know
that while in Ketchum Senator
Hearst expressed himself unmis-
takably as opposed to annexing
Southern Idaho to Nevada and
warmly espoused the plan of Dele
gate Dubois, who was present, to
annex a portion Of Montana to
Idaho and thus gain at once suffi-
cient population to be entitled to
statehood. He went even further
than Delegate Dubois and wanted
the new line run from Wyoming
north to the British Possessions,
taking in Butte, Helena. Dillon and
all the most populous part of Mon
tana. 1t may be he talks Nevada to
Nevadans and Idaho to Idahoans,
but we do not believe him capable
Of such rank injustice. He could
not have been more pronounced in
his views in opposition to Stewards
scheme while here, and until he
shows by his vote and acts that he
was not in earnest we will count
the senator as one of the friends of
the anti-annexation movement.

lieves in letting we'll enough alone
and it says:
We do not believe in enlaSging the
boundaries Of Idaho. We want to see
her become state just ~ she 10 and has
been. We do not want to steal or have
our property stolen. We believe another
census would surprise the people, and un-
lees the usual 'skulduggery preventing
the adMission Of western states was inter
posed We would b admitted into the
Union. Dread of western influence upon
the part Of the east 10 what We have most
to contend against. The idea of the %
nexatioa Of . part Of Montana to Idaho
may do for . bluf. Our territorial boun-
diaries were selected wisely, and We d.
notdssire an inch added to or taken from
them.
